inSANE
1 in 4 Americans are Diabetic or Pre-Diabetic & The Lethal Effects of inSANE Processed Starches and Sweets
Listen
Note 1
Type 2 diabetes is like running water into a hormonally clogged sink for so long that water overflows all over the place and the faucet breaks down.
Note 2
People diagnosed with diabetes by the age of forty die twelve years sooner if they are male and fourteen years sooner if they are female. Imagine the years lost for children who are saturated with starches and sweets.
Note 3
In the late 1800s, one in every 4,000 people was diabetic; today one in every four people is diabetic or prediabetic. That is a 100,000 percent increase in one century…and rising.

SANE
Avoiding and Reversing Type 2 Diabetes/Pre-Diabetes & Your SANE Solution to Type 2 Diabetes
Listen
Note 1
inSANE sugar and starch have been proven to cause Type 2 Diabetes/Pre-Diabetes as rigorously as smoking has been proven to cause lung cancer.
Note 2
Avoiding lung cancer can be simple: inhale clean air vs. smoke filled air. Similarly, avoiding Type 2 Diabetes/Pre-Diabetes can be simple: eat SANE whole foods vs. inSANE sugar and starch.
Note 3
Studies show that the vast majority of Type 2 Diabetics and Pre-Diabetic can reduce or completely eliminate their need for medication by going SANE, while significantly reversing insulin resistance via smarter exercise.
